"These are sweet Swiss cookies. We usually make them for Weihnachten (Christmas Eve) and top them with sprinkles but they are appropriate year-round."

2Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheet.
3On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies on prepared cookie sheet. Brush with beaten egg yolks and decorate with sprinkles.
4Bake in preheated oven until golden at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool cookies on racks.
